4 Good Old AGE.

Long lived heredity is not simply a
physical tendency to live. 1t is also q
tendency to the habits Of life, conduct
and thought that preserve constitutional
vigor, and hold in check or eradicate
whatever might hamper nature 5 recuper-
alive power.
This suggests the practical lessen we
would enforce. BY the voluntary cult
vation of good habits those who have
reached. say the age of 80. in sound
health, may hcpe to live to good and
happy old age.-Y0uth's Companion.

THE POET OF THE PAST.

Sadly the Poet of the Past complains
That all his fair illusions fade away;
No more the fairies in the woodland play,
NJ longer Fancy undisputed reigns. q
The stubborn world his magic art disdains,
And harsher grows, and colder, day by day;
Beauty. for use is trampled into clay;
Music is dead, and only sound remains.
The Golden Age was ended long ago;
The songs are sung, and greatness is no more;
What themes are left to set our hearts aglow,
And wake anew the fiery tongues OF yore?
Far from its source the Stream Of Life runs low.
In weedy shadows on q barren shore.

COZY ROOF GARDENS.
How a Sensible New York Capitalist Makes
Hot Weather Endurable.


"No, am not going to the country

original friend of mine, the other day,

mosquitoes, no malaria, cool air, large
airy bedrooms, house with all modern
improvements. and all that sort of
thing. Come up and dine with me and
will show YOU"
We strolled up the avenue and entered
his house, on Murray hill. After
capital dinner my friend smiled as he
led the way to the elevator.

Onion Maggot and Cutworm.

According to an exchange, eggs Of

prevents destruction of the crop. Had
the author of this theory seen, as did

THE TRUE BLOODHOUND.
A Noble Dog that Is Much Iisrepresented

In Public Prints.
Every time dogs are. put on the trail
of criminal, the telegraph is sure to
say they are bloodhounds. Now. there
are not many bloodhounds in this
country, and we venture to say that of
the few there never was one of the
breed used in trailing men. The dogs
which before and during the war were
used to track runaway slaves were al
ways spoken of rs bloodhounds, but
they were nothing like the animals be-
longing to that breed. They were q
cross between the Siberian dog and the
long, low hound so much used by
Southerners in hunting. The strain of
Siberian blood gave the result of this
crossing the large head and short ears,
Us well as size, and the strain from the
hound gave the animals the sharp scent
which enabled them to follow scent
hours after its making. These dogs
were ferocious, while the true blood
hound is any thing but that. The dogs
seen running in the street here which
are called bloodhounds, come from the
stock used for the purpose described in
the South, but are not so we'll bred.
They are more Of a cur as general
thing. A thoroughbred bloodhound is
one of the handsomest dogs that live.
He is large, heavy-boned animal, with
long ears and broad. pleasant face,
with brown eyes, which, on account of
the red always showing, are considered
by people who do not know better a
sure indication of savageness. The
bloodhound is a dog much misrepre-
sented. He has bad reputation which
he never earned himself. but was given
him by persons who knew not what

Tndustrious rnsects That Constitute Them
selves Actual Reservoirs.

selves Actual Reservoirs
II evidence were wanting that certain
ants voluntarily make sacrifices for
Others the case of the honey ant would
be sufficient. That ants should keep
domestic animals and perform the hum
dred and one intelligent acts that they
do is remarkable but that certain mem-
bers Of tribe should either by election
or selection constitute themselves ac-
tual living bottles or reservoirs for the
rest seems beyond the range of possi-
bility, yet such Is the case. Many years
ago French naturalist, Mr.. Wesmael.
described a Mexican ant, Myrmecocytus
Mexicanus, which was brought from
Mexico by M. de Normann, making the
remarkable announcement that in the
division of labor certain ants were
literally living honey-jars or store
houses for the others. This statement
was deemed incredible ut the time, but
was confirmed by many observers as
Lucas, Edwards, Saunders, Black and
others.
Two different genetm are now known,
one Camponotus inhatus, from Austria
liza, and the one already given which
ranges from Mexico up to Colorado
Springs, where in the Garden of the
Gods they have been carefully studied
by DR.. McCook. In this locality the
nests of these ants may be observed as
small elevations over the ridges Of dis
integrating rocks that form the char
acteristic of the wonderful garden. If
we DIG down and with hammer or axe
cut into the stone we shall find in all
probability among the swarm of ants
several kinds and one remarkable for
its enormously distended abdomen.
This is one of the worke ers that by
agreement, or in some way, has COLI
sented to hold supply of food for the
rest The living bottles are kept by
the other ants in room by themselves,
and are generally found clinging to
the wall OF their cell utterly helpless.
Dr. McCook found by carefully watch
ing them that these ants were chiefly
night-workers, starting out in the even
ing about seven o'clock, and march
ing in lines to some low bushes
in the vicinity. Examination showed
that they were clustering about
the small gals, formed by the gall
fly, Cynips quercusmellarie, from
which they obtained their honey. Each
ant upon taking supply returned to
the nest and there delivered it up to the
ants with the large abdomens, who re-
ceived it, holding it in bond, as it were,
until wanted by the others. When the
workers desired food they touched or
caressed the living jars with their at
tenna@, upon which it was produced
by muscular contraction of the bottles
and taken from their mouths by the
hungry workers.
The nests contained, on an average,
about two hundred of these honey bear.
ers. representing about one-fourth of a
pound of honey stored in this remark
able way. In Old Mexico strangers are
sometimes presented at dessert with
pellucid globes Of honey to be eaten as
we would eat grape, the delicacy
being the honey ant that is considered
a bonne bouche by the Mexican epi-
cure. The honey is believed by natives
to have medicinal virtues.-C. F.. Hold.
